I bought my hybrid housing (sky's) off ebay with a kick diff 5:12 gears. . I went this route because off $$$ and I bent my stock housing plus I already had a front 3rd from pic a part. The hybrid housing uses the stock kick diff and center section. Tubes and bearing flanges are welded on sio you can reuse sami axles brakes ect. Way cheaper than trying to regear yotas or 44's.

no they are rear track/kick difs with sammy axleshafts.
track/kick use centered rear vs the sammy offset.
this way you only need one doner vehicle for gears as you use both front and rear sets. the rear is also stronger as it uses a larger ring gear, carrier and bearings I belive.

great to get your gearing back however .. the cost is not much less as a toy swap. ( talking from experiance I had a hybrid)
my advise put the money in the t-case play with the stock axles till you bust em then upgrade to toy

I have the trail tough version it uses a tracker center section dom tube tracker wheel berings and custom shafts . This is a very nice set up but i destroyed it. On its 2nd time out the splines on the long shaft stripped off and destroyed the ARB. This wasnt because the parts were weak but the housing bent. The tracker center section is made of thin sheet metal and the tubes are 3/16 dom so the tubes are verry strong and something has to be the weak point .

doesnt the sidewinder suppose to use samurai axles and a sidekick 3rd?

The Sidewinder uses the track/kick third member and it is built to the width of the samurai, putting the differential in the right position behind the transfer case. You can use the stock samurai rear axles if you tell them that is what it is for, otherwise they set it up so you can use their custom chromo axles and use front disks and hubs. This makes it a full floater, and is very trick.

so the standard is with the same offset at the samurai and the sidekick 3rd member
